ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Class-Sparing Regimens for Initial Treatment of HIV-1 Infection
Mercredi 14 Mai 2008 - 06:55 - 6 mois, 1 semaine depuis - 14 lectures - Presse spécialisée - New England Journal of Medicin
Several regimens are used as initial antiretroviral therapy for HIV-1 infection, but few direct comparisons are available. In this randomized, open-label study, efavirenz plus two nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), lopinavir-ritonavir plus two NRTIs, and lopinavir-ritonavir plus efavirenz were compared. Initial therapy with efavirenz plus two NRTIs was associated with less virologic failure than was lopinavir-ritonavir plus two NRTIs. The NRTI-sparing regimen of lopinavir-ritonavir plus efavirenz had virologic efficacy similar to that of efavirenz plus two NRTIs but was more likely to select for drug resistance.

REVIEW ARTICLE: Current Concepts: Acinetobacter Infection
Mercredi 19 Mars 2008 - 06:55 - 8 mois depuis - 14 lectures - Presse spécialisée - New England Journal of Medicin
The gram-negative coccobacillus acinetobacter, a pathogen once seen only in hot, humid climates, has become an increasingly common nosocomial problem even in temperate climates. For infections caused by multidrug-resistant isolates, antibiotic choices may be quite limited. This review summarizes the approaches to treatment and the current understanding of the ability of acinetobacter to accumulate diverse mechanisms of resistance, with the emergence of strains resistant to all commercially available antibiotics.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Use of Multiple Biomarkers to Improve the Prediction of Death from Cardiovascular Causes
Mercredi 14 Mai 2008 - 06:55 - 6 mois, 1 semaine depuis - 14 lectures - Presse spécialisée - New England Journal of Medicin
To predict the risk of death from cardiovascular causes in a community-based cohort of elderly men, the authors used a combination of biomarkers (troponin I, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, cystatin C, and C-reactive protein). The addition of these markers to a model with traditional cardiovascular risk factors significantly improved risk stratification as compared with a model that used only the traditional risk factors.

Updates: Whatever Happened to Protecting Cells from Radiation? [Scientific American Magazine]
Vendredi 27 Juin 2008 - 06:18 - 4 mois, 3 semaines depuis - 14 lectures - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
Ozone Recovery, Warmer AntarcticaThe Antarctic ozone hole that forms every spring has kept that continent's interior cold even as the rest of the world has warmed over the past few decades [see "A Push from Above"; SciAm, August 2002]. Thanks to the global ban on chlorofluorocarbons, stratospheric ozone levels there are slowly recovering. A repaired hole, however, could speed Antarctic ice melting and change weather patterns, according to a computer model by Judith Perlwitz of the University of Colorado at Boulder and her colleagues. With more ozone, the lower stratosphere would absorb more ultraviolet light and warm up by as much as nine degrees Celsius. That in turn would break down circulation patterns that trap cold air over Antarctica's interior, making the continent heat up. The changed patterns would also make Australia warmer and drier, and South America could get wetter. Such ozone details may need to be worked into global climate models, most of which have neither incorporated such effects nor included enough of the stratosphere. The journal Geophysical Research Letters published the study on April 26. [More]
